, structed that the polish is very uniformly distributed upon the pad. H

A further object of the invention is to provide in combination with adispensing device of this character a hollow handle in communicationwith the dispensing device for containing a supply of the polish. 7

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparentthroughout the course of the following description.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein fFigure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through a polish applierconstructed in accordance with my invention; P

Figure 2 is an enlarged section on the line 2''2 of Figure 1';

Figure 3 is a section on the line 8-3 of Figiu'e 2.

Referring now more particularly to the drawing, the numeral 10 indicatesa cylinder, one end 11 of which is closed and the other end of which hasa removable cap 12. The end 11 has a central opening 13 for coactionwith a valve 14: carried by the lower end of a stem 15, the upper end ofwhich projects through the cap '12 and has an actuating thumb-piece 16.Upon the stem within the cylinder is arranged a piston comprising ametal body 17 having a cork washer 18 applied thereto. Between the lowerend 11 and the piston a spring 19 surrounds the stem and constantlyurges the same-upwardly and the body of the cylinder immediately beneaththe lower end of the piston when in its raised position has openings 20formed there-' in through which fluid polish may be fed from anysuitable source. Beneath the cap a packing 21 is arranged for packingthe stem 15 against possible leakage. The stem, when forced downwardly,to its lowermost position, unseats the valve and closes the openings 20,thereby preventing the entrance of further fluid from the source to thecylinder while forcibly ejecting the fluid already contained therein. 'Ahousing 22 is removably connectedto the upper end of the cylinder forthe purpose of preventing accidental'actuation of the stem. l

Extending outwardly from the sides of the cylinder between the lower endthereof and openings 20 is a flange '23, the outer edges of which areprovided with downturned flanges 24 which are eXte'riorly screw- 1threaded. A block 25 having a bore 26 fitting the cylinder is seatedwithin the cap thus provided and is so constructed that it its exteriorat this projectingportion with a'downwardly facing shoulder'27. Aninteriorly and exteriorly' threaded retaining projects from the cap andis provided'upon ring 28 engages the threaded exterior of the flange 24and at its lower end an inturned flange 29 for'engagement against theshoul-.

der 27 to'maintain the block in position in the cap. That portion of theblock seating within the cap is provided in its periphery presentlyappear.

in a downwardly tapering bore 31 and against the lower face of the blockis seated a fiber washer pad 32, the opening of which with a groove 30,the purpose of which will f likewise tapers downwardly and is very smallat its lower end. This pad may be glued or otherwise secured to theblock 25 and is covered, together with the block, by anloth covering 33,the edges of which are maintained in position in the groove 30 durmginsertion of the block and pad by a small rubber band, indicated at'S L.Once the block and pad together with the cover are in applied position,the cover will be maintained in its applied position by the engagementofthey retaining ring 28 therewith. A cover for the applying pad ordauberthus produced isprovided in a cup-shaped casing 35 having athreaded end 36 for engagement with the retaining ring 28 and having ashoulder for engaging the "flange 29 of the retaining ring against whichis seated a packing 37. This packing makes the cover air-tight, therebypreventing undue drying of the dauber. The supply for this cylinder ispreferably in the form of a hollow tube 38, one end of which ispermanently closed, as indicated at 89, and the opposite end of whichhas a removable screw cap 40 through which fluid may be replenished. Thecylinder 10 is so positioned in the tube 38 that the openings 20 areimmediately above the lower wall of the tube and fluid will flowtherethl ough a s long; as there ie l'e inlini v the paid 1n.1tsmovement 'ovei' the face tapered ing in the tube.
